What are Reception Networks?
Reception Networks are part of the government’s Best Start in Life strategy and the Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence (RISE) universal offer. They are designed to help schools strengthen the quality of Reception-year provision through school-led, locally delivered support.
These networks focus on sharing strong, evidence-informed practice so that schools can learn from one another in practical and meaningful ways. Each network is led by a school with sustained strengths in early years provision and leadership. Lead schools work with others in their local area to support improvement in Reception teaching, provision and leadership.
